Bees swarm in central San Angelo

SAN ANGELO, Texas - San Angelo firefighters had a brief battle with a swarm of honeybees Tuesday afternoon.

Firefighters used two trucks to close off the alley behind the 1200 block of South David Street about noon when bees were discovered inside a home.

More bees were found in a building behind a property on the same block.

The honeycomb was too much for Rescue 1 alone, said San Angelo Fire Department Battalion Chief Ricky Long. Engine 3 used its foam capability to knock down the honeycomb, and the 300-400 bees were removed.
